Welcome
The process o building or renovating can be
a stressul time or any homeowner. Planning
ahead to make sure the end result will work wellwith both your liestyle and your pocket means
making many upront choices in areas you may
be unamiliar with.
This ‘Electrical Solutions Guide’ rom Schneider
Electric is designed to help you make inormed
decisions about your electrical needs in each
and every room o your home.
Introduction>
2
The requirements or today’s homes are ar
more complicated than those o times gone by.
We need to consider energy eiciency in allareas to keep our running costs under control,
we must include comort and convenience
wherever possible to ease the demands on
our busier liestyles, and with an eye on uture
resale value, we have to build in lexibility
wherever possible or tomorrow’s technologies.
This guide is intended to give you an overview
o all these dierent acets o your electrical
wiring and more – explaining the sometimes
complex systems in broad terms to show you
the options available. Your electrical contractoris the expert in wiring today’s homes and we
encourage you to work closely with them.

Considering the future
Consider multiple urniture layouts in living>areas and bedrooms. As an example you
may want to rearrange the urniture in your
lounge, but discover that the wiring or your
TV or stereo system is on the other side o the
room rom its new position. To avoid unsightly
extension leads, use structured cabling and
plan or outlets in several locations.
I members o your amily have disabilities or>are becoming less mobile, consider styles
o switches and socket outlets that are easy
to use, and place them in positions that best
cater or their requirements.
You may not own them now, but think o what>electrical appliances you may want in the
uture and where they would be located.
With a little planning
you can provide for
all your electrical
requirements nowand in the future.
Your electrical
contractor will also
oer advice and
suggestions to
urther customise
your installation.
You should discuss
your particular
needs with whoeveris overseeing the
electrical installation.
Starting out
When irst approaching your electrical plan,
consider these basic tips:
Utilising dierent colours and plate inishes>can change the whole look o your home’s
electrical itout.
When selecting your socket outlets, try to be>consistent with their orientation (i.e. vertical or
horizontal) throughout your home.
Position light switches conveniently or when>you’re entering or leaving rooms, and when
locating light switches beside doorways take
care to note which way the door swings so
your switch is not obstructed when the door
is open.
Light dimmers are great additions to those>areas o the home where it’s desirable to
create dierent moods with lower light level
settings – and they’ll save power!
Switches don’t always have to be next to>the appliance they’re controlling and may
be better placed in the most conveniently
accessible location.

The safe home
Protect yourself against electrocution
– Safety switches / RCDs
From time to time we’re all unconsciously
careless around electricity. Nobody plans onbeing electrocuted but accidents can happen.
Frayed cords, aulty wiring, dampness and
other hazards can contribute to a potentially
lethal situation.
Fortunately, Residual Current Devices
(commonly known as RCDs or saety switches)
oer personal protection against electrocution
rom “phase to earth” aults by cutting o
the power in such cases within just a ew
thousandths o a second.
Various models suit dierent applications
– rom switchboard mounted products or home
protection, outdoor extension leads or power
tools, and RCD power points or bathrooms
and laundries.
>Protect your electronic devices
– Surge arrestors
Power surges o various degrees are
unavoidable in the delivery o electricity to yourhome. Depending on the type, duration, and
size o these surges irreparable damage can
be done to unprotected electronic equipment
such as computers, televisions, and stereos.
Insurance policies oten exclude any such
damage in their policies.
It is recommended to have coarse or medium
surge protection on all circuits in the distribution
board, with additional ine surge protection
provided at the power point on selected
circuits.
Our homes are now
ull o electrical and
electronic devices,
so electrical saety
should be one o the
prime considerations
or your new home or
renovation. Schneider
Electric oers a
comprehensive
range o products
to saeguard both
your amily and your
belongings.
Saety tip: All RCD'shave a test button,
please test them
regularly to ensure
they are working
correctly.

Innovative safety products and features
Peace of mind for parents – Shuttered sockets
All PDL sockets eature inbuilt shutters which
eectively close o the socket pinholes when
a plug is removed. This additional protection
provides peace o mind or parents with
toddlers who may try inserting a oreign object
into the socket. Shuttered sockets are also
available in the Clipsal range.
Further protection from electric shock– Waterproof switches
Waterproo switches provide urther protection
rom electric shock in case a amily member
touches a switch using wet hands. These
products are ideally suited or light and
appliance switches in kitchens, bathrooms,
ensuites and laundries.
Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms are
essential warning
devices in every
home, providing early
indication o ire and
minimising the chance
o property damage
or loss o lie.
Whilst any smoke
detector is better than
none, interconnected
dual power supply
alarms give superior
protection as when
ire is detected by
one alarm, all the
connected alarms in
the house will sound.
*Convenience and safety – Light sensors
Sensor controlled lights add convenience
and saety to your home. Outside, they light
up paths and driveways and are an excellent
deterrent to criminal activities. Inside, they are
great or stairwells and bathrooms, turning lights
on as and when required.
More light to move safely – Emergency lights
Blackouts are all too common and can leave
you umbling or candles or a torch. The Clipsal
Liesaver Emergency Light automatically
switches on should the power ail giving you
light to move saely. It is kept charged by the
mains when not in use and is great or high
traic areas and by the distribution board.

Your home is where you have the greatest control over your environmental impact – in the home’s
construction, ittings that go into it, and also in your actions – how you use and maintain it.
Schneider Electric has a irm belie in environmental responsibility and oers a wide range o
solutions or lessening your running costs and carbon ootprint.
The efficient home environment>
Create warmth and comfort –
Heating and cooling
Heating your living spaces is one o the biggest
costs in any home, particularly during those cold
winter months.
Heating rooms individually is an excellent way o
increasing your energy eiciency overall – why
waste power heating unoccupied areas such as
guest rooms or rumpus rooms?
Ceiling ans assist with heating and cooling
by improving the eiciency o heaters and
air conditioning.
An inline exhaust an can be installed or venting
heated air rom one room to another. This heats
an additional room with the warm air that rises
and becomes trapped near the ceiling o another.
In the reverse situation, they can also be used to
draw cold air into a room.
Set the mood – Dimmers
Dimmers are a great way o creating a mood or
atmosphere, and lower light settings will reduce
your energy consumption. This is an easy place
to start making savings.
Save power – Lighting control and
motion sensors
Save power by installing motion sensors in key
locations which will automatically turn the lights
on when someone approaches, and switch
them o again i nobody remains in the area or
a period o time. Both ceiling and wall mount
versions are available.
Lighting control – Timers
Consider timers which restrict energy use or
underloor heating, towel rails, spas and other
high load applications where considerable
savings can be made. A timer will allow you
to schedule these to run during low tari rate
periods, or when your amily is normally home.
Adjust your lighting for seasonal changes –
Sunset switches
By using a light sensor, sunset switches will turn
lights on once the natural illumination drops
below a certain level. Ideal or bulkhead lights,
paths and driveways, they automatically adjust
or changes in season or daylight savings.
Some also eature inbuilt timers or even greater
savings potential.

Improve your electrical savings with an integrated approach
You can greatly improve your electrical savings by attending to your lighting, heating, and ventilation
separately, or an integrated approach through C-Bus Home Automation.
With C-Bus, all o the controlled lights and electrical devices in a home are networked together.
This allows them to interact with each other and operate within preset parameters or schedules
based on time o day, natural light level, occupancy, or temperature.
See pages 14 to 17 for further information on C-Bus Home Automation.
Timer switches
A 60W heated towel rail let running
continuously uses 525kWh o power per year.Using a timer to turn the towel rail on or 2 hours
per day drops the consumption to only 44kWh
per year – saving you $106 per year.
Outdoor sensor lights
300W o outdoor lights let on all night will use
around 1000kWh per year. An outdoor sensor
turns these lights on only when required. Even i
triggered 10 times a night or six minutes each
time, you’ll save over 930kWh or a saving o
$204 per year.
Dimmers
Using a 75W light bulb at ull illumination or six
hours per day would consume 164kWh per year.I or just 50% o that time a dimmer is used to
reduce the illumination to hal brightness, you’ll
save 24kWh per year. This makes or a saving
o $5.30 per light bulb per year. Multiplying this
out across just ten lamps in a house gives you a
saving o over $53 per year.
Sunset switches
Sunset switches will automatically adjust to
daylight saving and gradual seasonal changes.
Misjudgments in turning outside lights on or o
in the morning or evening totalling two hours per
day would increase your power consumption by
218kWh per year (based on 300W o lighting).
Use a sunset switch to make the right call or
you and that’s $48 per year you’ll save.
Savings examples…
All savings are estimates only and are based on an electricity tari rate o 22c per kilowatt hour.
Actual energy and cost savings will depend on individual usage patterns and local conditions.

> C-Bus Home Automation
The energy efficient building
By utilising the advanced eatures o Clipsal
C-Bus® Control and Management system,
energy savings can be made by switching olights automatically when you are not in a room.
C-Bus can control the heating or ventilation
in any area independently by the use o room
thermostats to keep a constant, healthy, energy
eicient climate in the home.
C-Bus can save thousands o dollars on
annual energy bills in commercial buildings
by measuring the light level in work areas and
dimming down overhead luorescent lighting in
areas near natural light sources, yet maintaining
a constant minimum required light level or a
sae working environment.
Security and fire
C-Bus Control and Management system also
has the lexibility to communicate messages
to your home or business security and ire
systems. So in the unlikely event o a ire,
C-Bus can provide escape lighting to illuminate
your exit rom the home. C-Bus can also turn
every light in the home on, or lash all o the lights
in the event o an intruder triggering the alarm.
What is lighting control?
With lie becoming ever more busy and
complex, the modern home is required to think
or itsel. Why come home to a dark, cold,
unwelcoming home, when you have the ability
to communicate with your home automation
system rom your cellphone via voice
commands or text messages – to turn on the
heating, open blinds or play a ‘welcome home’
scene as you are coming up the driveway.
The uture prooing advantages o C-Bus means
that any controlled electrical circuit can be
switched rom any location in the home. As your
liestyle changes, you can alter how the lighting
is switched without the need or any re-wiring
work to be carried out.

Home theatre and multi-room audio systems
C-Bus also has the added advantage o an
optional Multi-Room Audio system that can be
seamlessly controlled via C-Bus switches and
touch screens. Play your avourite music in
any area o your home or independently play
dierent music sources in separate areas at the
same time, i.e. the kids can listen to a radio or
DVD in the rumpus room while at the same time
the adults can listen to a CD or another audio
source in the living/dining area.
C-Bus also has the lexibility to intelligently
‘talk’ to almost any third-party home theatre
or multi-room audio system on the market.
Imagine with one touch o a wall switch or touch
screen, the lights dim to your desired levels,
the TV is turned on and the DVD is played
automatically. This is all possible with a C-Bus
Home Automation System.
Set the scene
Imagine the power
at your ingertips to
set the level o every
lighting circuit in the
home by the press
o only one button.
Alternatively, a ‘good
night’ button beside
the bed can be
programmed to switcho the whole house
at the end o a day.
With the advanced
power o C-Bus the
home will always be
illuminated exactly
how you like it.
Heating and ventilation
Let C-Bus control the climate in your home.
With the addition o C-Bus thermostats, the
automation system can keep a constant healthy
temperature in the home. C-Bus can heat the
home in the winter and cool in summer all with
seamless control and temperature readings at
your ingertips.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:
• Worklights
• Multiplebenchtools
• Radio
• TV
• Freezers
• Beerfridge
Recommendations:
Remember that i you have an electronic garage door, you will need tohave a single power socket installed in the ceiling next to the control unit
Consider the 4 way switched socket outlets. These are excellent orthose situations where multiple appliances need to be plugged into thesame outlet
15A socket outlets are ideal or controlling larger load electrical machines,i.e. large saw benches, blast heaters, welders etc
Use a pushbutton tactile switch that matches the other switches in yourhome or controlling your automatic garage door
Multiple RCDs in your distribution board will minimise the risk o having allo your lighting and power circuits disabled in the event o tripping
Consider installing a PIR sensor to activate a welcoming light at nightTIPS:
Consider the garageas a location or yourhome’s main distribution
board, as it provides oreasy access

Now that you’ve
worked through the
‘Electrical Solutions
Guide’ and have
some great ideas on
how to make your
electrical installation
work or you, you’ll
need to know who
to talk to in order to
make it happen.
Your next step
depends on how you
have arranged to
build or renovateyour home.
There are three
possible scenarios.
You may have:
1 contracted>a builder,
2 engaged>a design
proessional,
3 taken on the role>o owner/builder
1>
You’ve contracted a builder to build
or renovate your home
You’ve planned your dream home and have
contracted the builder. The builder may
already have a licensed electrical contractor to
do their electrical work. I not, you will need to
ind a licensed electrical contractor.
The basic wiring plan
In most cases, the builder will have a standard
electrical plan o your home.
Expanding the wiring plan to meet your needs
Having worked through the ‘Electrical Solutions
Guide’, you’ll have ideas on how you want to
tailor your home’s electrical plan.
The next step is to speak to your builder; they
may handle the process in one o three ways.
1 They might reer you to a licensed electrical
contractor who will walk you through the
plan and tailor it to suit your liestyle
and needs.
2 They might have a selection centre where
you can see lots o dierent electrical
products and solutions. Ask to go through
the ‘Electrical Solutions Guide’ with the
selection centre consultant.
3 They might not encourage changes to the
plan. I you’d like changes, you can ask to
speak to their licensed electrical contractor
to ind out the costs o a tailored plan.
How to make it happen>2>
You’ve engaged a design professional
to design and build your home
A design proessional will design, and may
supervise the building o your home or
renovation. They’ll talk with you about your
liestyle and the location o your rooms.
They will provide your licensed electrical
contractor with a plan. The contractor will
complete the wiring installation that best suits
your new home or renovation.
Design professionals with excellent
electrical knowledge
They’ll discuss the options with you (room byroom), including items you’ve selected rom
the ‘Electrical Solutions Guide’. You may ind
it useul to include your licensed electrical
contractor in the discussions. Your licensed
electrical contractor will then draw up the
electrical plan based on your needs
and preerences.
Design professionals with limited
electrical knowledge
I your design proessional is not amiliar withwhat’s available, ask to get a licensed electrical
contractor involved. This can really save you
time in the long run.
3>
You’re taking on the challenging role of
owner/builder
So you’ve decided to supervise your building
project yoursel. I this is the case you will need
to ind a licensed electrical contractor.
